How To Make A Twitter Header

Your Twitter profile shows other users who you are, and your Twitter cover photo is where they get their first impression. The cover is that large image placed at the top of your personal, business, or group profile. At 1500 pixels wide and 500 pixels tall (on mobile, Twitter will crop it to a 2:1 aspect ratio), it gives you a lot of screen real estate with which to use.
